 James Scott, 1st Duke of Monmouth - Encyclopedia, History, Geography and Biography
James Crofts, later James Scott, 1st Duke of Monmouth and of Buccleuch (April 9, 1649 – July 15, 1685) was born in Rotterdam in the Netherlands, the illegitimate son of Charles II and his mistress, Lucy Walter, who had followed him into continental exile after the execution of Charles II father, King Charles I.
Lucy Walter had almost as bad a reputation as the prince himself, and it is not at all certain that Charles was the natural father of James.
In 1663, at the age of 14, shortly after having been brought to England, James was created Duke of Monmouth with the subsidiary titles of Earl of Doncaster and Baron Scott of Tynedale, all three in the Peerage of England, and married off to the wealthy Anne Scott, 4th Countess of Buccleuch.

And while Walter was beside her, she had felt invincible and filled to the brim with anticipation of a future--an ideal family nestled in a perfect world.
Walter was the best of the brood, and he'd achieved without seeming to try very hard, or allowing a drive to succeed to consume him in the way it had his siblings and parents.
As Lucy passed the guest room there was a bang of the door hitting the wall as it was flung open, and a powerful arm grabbed her around the chest and constricted her lungs.

 Walter Of Coventry - LoveToKnow 1911   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
The word Memoriale is usually taken to mean "commonplace book." Some critics interpret it in the sense of "a souvenir," and argue that Walter was not the author but merely the donor of the book; but the weight of authority is against this view.
The author of the Memoriale lived in the reign of Edward I., and mentions the homage done to Edward as overlord of Scotland (1291).
It may be from timidity that the annalist avoids attacking John, but it is more probable that the middle classes, whom he represents, regarded the designs of the feudal baronage with suspicion.

 James, Duke of Monmouth
(However, Lucy had almost as bad a reputation as the prince himself, and it is not at all certain that he was the natural father.) There was talk of their having been secretly married, which would have made James the true and legitimate heir to the throne.
Whatever the truth, Charles recognised James as his son, but did not make him his heir - to have admitted marrying Lucy Walter would have threatened his marriage to the Portuguese princess, Catherine of Braganza.
In 1663, shortly after having been brought to England, he was created Duke of Monmouth and married off to the wealthy Anne, Countess of Buccleuch[?].

Right from the start he was a shy and whiny boy who didn't like to wander too far from his mother's side, and though he continues to be something of a momma's boy, participating in flyball and other social activities is definitely helping him gain confidence.
Through a series of unusual coincidences, Walter has been lucky enough to run into his mother and a number of his siblings over the last year and a half, and family reunions at Conroy Pit are a regular occurrence.

However Charles was neither able to use the royalist fleet that came under his control to any advantage, nor to reach Scotland in time to join up with the royalist "Engagers" army of the Duke of Hamilton, before it was defeated at the Battle of Preston.
At the Hague, Charles II had an affair with Lucy Walter (whom, some alleged, he secretly married).
Their son, James Crofts (afterwards Duke of Monmouth and Duke of Buccleuch), was to become the most prominent of Charles's many illegitimate sons in English political life, and famously led a rebellion on Charles' death, aimed at placing himself (a staunch Protestant) on the throne instead of Charles' Catholic brother James.
